I mean…. she testified under oath, under penalty of perjury. There’s an open invitation for anyone with other info to step forward and testify, and a lot of people are even ducking subpoenas, so where are the people who were there? Seems like it’d be super easy to just come in and testify under oath with their side of the story, but it’s almost as if they don’t want to do that🤔 If Trump called up and was like “I’ll testify to the committee under oath”, what are they going to say? No? Statements on Truth Social hold no weight, under oath testimony is much more compelling. And these are almost all Republicans telling the tales, and half of these clowns are like “I’d still vote for Trump if he ran again”, I mean, holy shit, bro, I feel like I’m taking crazy pills here😂 If a Republican wins in ‘24 and Joe Biden wanted Kamala Harris to step in and refuse certification, and the same shit happened but with a liberal crowd, you’d absolutely lose your shit and be screaming that this was a “socialist coup.” But the side you like was the one involved, so it’s “dismiss and downplay”, and acting indignant that anyone was even concerned by this, when it’s literally one of the most insane things to happen in the relatively short history of the United States. For the record, I’d be alarmed no matter who did it, that shit was one of the craziest events I’ve ever seen.
If a couple thousand people going into the Capital building to supposedly overthrow the United States government in an insurrection with fire extinguishers and pepper spray you haven't lived very much my friend. Cassidy Hutchinson has already been shown to lie in her testimony which was even recognized by the committee but they said oh it's okay no problem we believe you anyway.
Feel free to make your claims under oath. Why is it always the case that the people saying trump did crime say so under oath, but none of the people saying trump did not do crime are willing to say so under oath? Y'all keep casting your illusions at reality hoping something sticks, we keep telling you "saying it under oath is how you make it stick," and then you act like you didn't hear us. The entire remainder of this hearing could be 100% Trump speaking, so long is he does so under oath. Why do you imagine it is so scary to your dear leader that he agree to face consequences if he is caught lying? Well, let's not pretend you don't already know the answer to this. The real question is why are you okay with it?
Anyway, the steering wheel thing is a bit of a red herring. Amusing to contemplate, but really is only a testament to what a stupid angry child trump is, not anything illegal (though maybe a traffic violation). The actual crime in that testimony was Trump knew people in the crowd were armed and told them to go to the capitol anyway. Trump. Knew. It was not a peaceful protest that got out of hand. It was planned. And Trump Knew, just as the rest of us did. The only excuse for supporting him left to you is "maybe democracy should be overturned." Anything else and you are pretending he didn't know when it is now established he absolutely did.
WHAT were these few "armed" with? pepper spray? There COULD been hundreds of thousands REALLY armed-with RIFLES ! Next time Demokkkrats election cheat, they WILL show up REALLY armed. if you're a lifelong minimum wage/welfare case living in a basement , fine, you don't give a shit about WORKING families paying double for living expenses because "climate changes"or a 3 week China virus lockdown which went TWO YEARS. too stupid to realize how Big Pharma and Big Media have colluded with Big Brother? +500 "mostly peaceful" riots by self proclaimed "trained Marxists" BLM/Antifa killing dozens /burning billions in property while taking over government offices isn't " insurrection"? F you and your double standards! Leftist hypocrite who thinks he's Liberal...
I understand the far right fake news has brainwashed you with that disinformation, but in real life you hate addiction only serves the extremely rich people who sell it to you.
The FBI investigation prior the the Jan 6 commission found no evidence of any kind of organized the pre-planning. The Jan 6 kangaroo court is nothing but another hit job on Trump because they are scared to death he will run again. That committee lost any legitimacy it had in the very beginning when Nancy Pelosi wouldn't allow congressman on there that would be more fair toward Trump. Instead she hand picked two Democrats in Republican clothing who hate Trump instead. If this committee was legitimate they would allow witnesses for Trump they would allow attorneys for Trump to be there so it's pretty easy to impeach someone when you don't allow them any kind of defense, or representation of any kind. It's a joke
6 conservative were selected for inclusion by them. Pelosi denied 2. The remaining 4 were withdrawn by McCarthy. If they weren't withdrawn by him Trump would have someone up there who actually trusts him, but it was a conscious decision with Trump's blessing to not have that. Then the hearings started.
It's like the magic single bullet that supposedly killed Kennedy; you're not supposed to examine the claim (s) being made too closely, because if you do that the whole story simply falls apart. I guess the people promoting this silly story think we're all as stupid as they obviously are.
He also wasn't in the limousine at any point on Jan 6th, and there's a ~4in thick barrier between the driver and passenger compartment in both the limo and the SUV (which he is on video arriving to and leaving his rally in). Communication between the passenger seats and the driver usually has to be done over a radio, or hand signals between escort vehicles. So unless he is both Mr Stretch and superman, there's no way that story is accurate, even before taking into account that basically everyone Hutchinson has claimed to quote is willing to testify under oath that her story is BS.
There's also no way that the people on the select committee don't know this, but they want people to either be misinformed or to believe that opposing their will won't be tolerated.
Like you said, he wasn't in the "Beast", he was in an SUV, which isn't as you described. Which is more likely, she got the name of the car wrong or he was actually in the Beast?
It’s already been confirmed that Drumpf was riding in the SUV, in which it would be more likely that someone could physically touch the driver and security agent. But to pull off what they’re claiming, he’d have to be a contortionist and a black belt. PLUS… the driver and agent have both volunteered to testify under oath as to exactly what was said and what did happen, but they haven’t been called. I wonder why.
Shows how much you know LOL. He loses when the spotlight is on him showing all his flaws. And he has plenty. He only won against Hillary cause Hillary had the spot light on her.
@ChefPapiChulo By that argument every politician would lose every election because the spotlight is on them. Like any of these narcissistic assholes have clean hands. The spotlight was on Trump just as much as it was on Clinton in 2016, if not more. Don't try any of that revisionist history bullshit with me.
Educate myself? I am educated, and that's not what you meant. You meant "get in line". No thanks. This isn't Communist China (your favorite place for some reason) or the Diet Soviet Union.
It means actually know what you're talking about before you speak nonsense. Trump doesn't do well when people are focused on him.
In 2016 no one knew what a shit bag he'd be. Now all that's left are his crazed lunatic followers. The rest of America is ready to go out and vote to make sure he never see's office again.
@ChefPapiChulo yeah, we educate ourselves on how in Killary's words "oil field tradesmen/coal miners can transition into building solar cells" ( done in labs by Chinese scientists). 2016 election was HER'S to lose, which she DID through arrogance against WORKING CLASS FOLKS some who ALREADY saw manufacturing jobs go to China under her husband Bill!
@bademoxy Part of the reason she lost was because Trump does a good job of manipulating working class folk into sending him money thats for sure. While waging tax wars on China that hurt farmers.
But then again thats also part of the reason he lost the second time. Most sane people caught on to his bullshit and he had an approval rating under 30%. He was almost to achieving 18% like Bush had LOL. GOP are failures and they need to figure their shit out.
The rest of America, are you referring to the 33% that approve of Biden's job, or maybe the 58% of polled Democrats that believe Biden is screwing this country up?
Biden has had a tough job bringing the economy after a fail president like Trump. But he's created the jobs again and the economy is growing despite the inflation. We just need to keep Trump out of office to repair the economy again.
@ChefPapiChulo You can hate Trump all you want for being an asshole, and not want him in office ever again. Free country. However don't be deliberately disingenuous.
The economy failed because of the pandemic shutdown. Up until early March 2020, the stock market was up, the economy was strong, there was no inflation, there were no supply chain issues, unemployment was extremely low, gas was $2.46 a gallon, and grocery stores weren't empty. You don't think Trump deserves any credit for any of that? Fine. Just don't change history to fuel your narrative.
The lowest approval rating Bush 43 had was around 25% at the end of 2008, just before he left office. Not 18%.
I've given Biden credit a number of times on this site for finally getting the national infrastructure bill done, but don't jerk a bull and then tell me it's milk. The sharks are circling in his own party. His administration has been an unmitigated disaster, and there's only so much you can try and blame on Trump, or the pandemic, or on Vladiot.
You call the Republicans a mess, but there's no damn difference on the other side. If anything, it's worse. I guess we'll see what the rest of the country thinks this November.
Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it. Jan 6th was an attempt to overthrow USA as a nation. It is perhaps the single most dangerous day in all of your admittedly short history. The fact that you are both dismissing it and trying to make other people forget it is very telling of your devotion and patriotism to USA.
This meme seems to suggest that limos only have seats way at the back. They actually have seats all the way around. Someone can sit right behind the driver, which would put them close enough to lunge for the steering wheel. I don’t know if the story is true or not, but only stupid people believe this memes proves anything.
If you know anything about the "Beast" it's not an average limo and does not have seats all around. The President's cabin is a separate sealed unit than the rest of the vehicle complete with his own air supply if needed. None of this matters anyway it's coming out through secret service the b**** lied about all of it anyway, she wasn't even there, so the majority of her testimony was hearsay.
@noless10in So, your argument is that she said the name of the wrong vehicle (which you think invalidates her whole testimony about how Trump wanted to be at the attack on the Capitol with his armed supporters - something that nobody has disputed, by the way), the vehicle *he wasn't in* would have made it impossible to do the thing he's accused of, and the SUV is smaller, so he was closer to the driver?
No, actually it's a tiny detail that she got wrong that doesn't distract from her overall testimony, which included the fact that Trump knew his supporters were armed (which is why they weren't going through security to the Ellipse), and he sent them to illegally interfere in the election he lost anyway, in order to hold on to power.
Here is a clear example of the lack of accountability by both the right and the left in America that makes it VERY EASY for the elite class to rule. Either side is hell bent on blaming the other for their own actions and it doesn't matter what anybody says, they'd rather die than To concede an inch to the other side.
The God Emperor cannot be stopped by a bomb proof barrier between him and the steering wheel. For reals though that lady was clearly lying her ass off, but was obviously coached on how to say it all to prevent perjury. This country is fucked if this is the type of bullshit our government spends the tax dollars on.
Keep focusing on one minor aspect of the testimony and ignore that facts that she only got the name of the vehicle wrong (it was an SUV, so much shorter), and that the story has been circulating in the secret service for a year or more. Trump wanted to lead the attack on the Capitol by people he knew were armed and on his side. That's the important part.
Oh, and the rest of the story about how Trump tried to steal the presidency from the American people includes the bogus lawsuits that have resulted in multiple lawyers being disbarred, and the illegal attempts to get vote counters to lie for Trump, and the people who forged documents to pretend to be genuine electors, and finally the attack on the Capitol by people Trump knew to be armed to illegally stop the counting of the electoral votes, when none of the preceding worked.
Like most liberals in denial you got to understand something this big takes time. It will be proven as true but it will be too late. Just like all the conspiracy theories about the vaccine that we screamed about are now coming to the surface as true. Wheels of Justice turn slowly.
We know it takes time, it's been 18 months and still things are coming out about Jan 6th and all the other ways Trump tried to steal the presidency. The amazing thing is that Trump, Giuliani, Lindell and the rest have been pretending they have massive amounts of proof of voter fraud for the even longer, and yet they never seem to bring it out into the open.
You know, even in warped, WTF:) sense of humor-I follow. You are a smart-its not that it is different bu.. I think funny intuitive. Girls must love you... hopefully, you are conveying yourself to them. OH by the way DEATH DEAD... notice not dead head/fun guy... :)... see intuitive too. Best-

Truthfully this was not the vehicle President Trump was riding in. It was a Chevy Suburban. He could have easily vaulted over the back seat, taken out two highly trained Secret Service agents and grabbed the steering wheel.
Yawn, the fact is the turd wanted to go to the Capitol, against the recommendation of the Secret Service, thus disproving the lie that he didn't know the protesters were marching on the Capitol for him.
prosecution's "evidence" is based on second or third hand testimony AND OrangeManBad's defense was NOT allowed opportunity to examine/question the prosecutor's witness. you approve of this? that means you approve of kangaroo courts as long as it's weaponized against those you disagree with. Why not just cut out the middle men and MOVE to Venezuela?
@bademoxy It is not based upon second or third hand testimony. It is based upon eyewitness accounts. None these arguments make any sense. McCarthy had the opportunity to call rebuttal witnesses, he declined because he thought that would delegitimize the panel. And Trump or whomever else can come in and testify under oath if they claim there is something inaccurate about the testimony.
We are betting they won't show. By the way, this isn't a court.
What the fuck is wrong with trumpturds? This is not a fucking court. Fuck, the turd could have prepared an entire alternate narrative. But he refused. I don't know if he is just lazy or galactically stupid. This simply telling us what happened. He lied claimed he was cheated out of the election. Told that lie to his supporters, then tried to engineer a coup. Also, this is a fucking congressional panel. His issues begin if the DOJ decides to prosecute.
THAT'S WHEN THEY GO TO COURT.
This is so stupid. There is no amount of evidence that will change your mind so why do you pretend to be objective? Who do you think you are fooling?
You obviously didn't pay attention or you would know. That the beast is an SUV not a limo and you can see from the video him getting in that yes he could.
Lol that right but Democrats so scared about Trump it don't matter you are out they impeached, and now trying to convit him so he can't win. I think Democrats better beacreful the country has had enough
yes. a window broken by one Zackery Alam "helmet boy" -who was then punched by USAF vet Ashley Babbit trying to prevent said breakage , but who then shot dead by black Capital cop Michael Byrd. NYT -a Leftist shill - claims Alam was a Proud Boy - offering zero proof , while raising zero concern for black cop's execution of an unarmed white woman for the crime of trespassing.
I will probably be forgotten January 8, just not sure which year. Can we honestly say when the last time The Capitol was attacked before then without looking it up?
@abc3643 Leftards.. media brainwashed assholes who ignore or excuse +500 "mostly peaceful"rioting by self proclaimed "trained Marxists" BLM/Antifa , which killed dozens , burned billions in property and OCCUPIED/TOOK OVER government buildings -all with Marxist media (and their "factchecker" shills like Snopes) INCITING that 2 years of violence- ISN'T insurrection? I leave you with THIS: the thousands of Maga supporters CHOSE not to show up armed at the Capital after being CHEATED by a corrupted electoral ballot after which the BIASED swamp judicial court system DISALLOWED evidence -just like the current prosecution disallowed Trump's defense to question the prosecution's witnesses! Go ahead Leftards: JUSTIFY THAT! Yeah you WANT martial law and Leftwing dictatorship JUST LIKE Venezuela where 5,000 political opponents to the government are KILLED each year , while the only people getting food aid are Leftist supporters.
@bademoxy The moment you say "leftard" is the moment stopped reading as I thought to myself "Well, this man can't engage in 'genuine political discourse'. He isn't even Matchbook University material, let alone Harvard material."
@bademoxy Trump's defense isn't in the panel because McCarthy took them off before is started, when 1/3 of his 6 choices were denied by Pelosi. He could have had 4 on there. He chose 0, the two Republicans were asked individually.
